I have an idea for a city ride. I'm going to ride the fixie, so no giant hills.

That's a lot of climbing.

My drivetrain, despite needing a new chainring (on order) seems to behaving itself so barring some sort of disaster, I will be there.

1) that was some expensive BBQ. Tasty, but expensive. Thanks for taking us up there!
2) I'm sure that Uber is great, but I'd rather ride bikes for a bit before getting drunk, rather than go to a birthday party.
3) that was fun going back to the U district and then around south lake union.

I estimate about 20 miles of riding, not counting commuting.

By the end of it Mr. Halfpipe and I went down to the udistrict, and then I went around SLU as the fremont bridge was closed. It seems that everyone else wanted to drink beer for some reason. Who knew!??!?

I did get a laugh out of a pedestrian as yelled at a driver to "Watch where you're fucking going" as they tried to drive in front of me at a slow speed.

That was a cruel trick fate played on me last night.

I went home, got warmer clothes which I never used, got a burger at Scooters and then hauled ass over to Red Square.

Then a fine fellow who's name I forget showed up with PIZZA, TWO pizzas from Pagliacci's. Oh evil world that plants free pizza before me when I'm already stuffed with bacon and fries!

THEN we rode to a huge platter of free southern food. SHIT! Dammit, give me a cardboard box and a sharpie so I can go back in time and save myself the $7 I spent on that burger.

Short ride. Uber was fun. Beer is good. Getting up this morning was hard.

Well, I managed to get about 25 miles once I ditched the boozy meat-feast.

That's the down-side of being a non-drinking vegetarian, I guess.

I'm glad everybody had a good time, anyway.

No I didn't ride with them... Just killed my depression with tequila, whiskey, and beer. Not in that order. Then went home and got more beer and 7/11 dougnuts.

Yuck.

That sounds like many of my evenings back in Santa Cruz when I was single and bikeless. Yay for girls (or guys!) and gears.
